Never hunted Africa, but read JB say alot of animals are under 200 yds. That said, would a say 338 Federal with proper bullet do as well as say a 338/06, or even 9.3 given good bullets and placement.
Thinking, 185 TTSX, 200s ie. Fusion, 210 Partition and Barnes.
Just wondering how a short 338 round might fare there on say Kudu, and the like since ranges may typically be short.
If anyone here has used a 338F, or those bullets above chime in if you will. Seems a light short carbine in a good custom or Kimber w/small light quality scope might be a handy rifle for this type of hunting.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
